Globat Expert Review- From the Editors

1.877.245.6228

Globat.com was founded in 2001. Globat is one of the older and more established web hosting companies online, and they offer shared web hosting, business class hosting, Exchange services, Secure Servers and domain names. Globat hosts more than 100,000 websites and uses two data centers in Boston, MA.

Review

Sales

Globat takes sales questions by live chat, telephone and through an online form. I got in touch with Globat using all three methods on numerous occasions. Wait times averaged twenty minutes using live chat and phone, and several hours to several days by way of email. Sales reps were extremely friendly and intelligent, easily answering my many questions.

Setup

Signing up for a Globat account is no more difficult than filling out an online order form. Account activation is instant, so I had my new account details in my inbox within seconds of paying my hosting bill. Perfect!

Billing

Globat takes all major credit cards and PayPal. Though I had no actual trouble with the billing department, I feel that I averted potential disaster a few times. Globat extends incentives for upgrades to clients multiple times a year that must be opted out of manually. Should you not opt-out, you are automatically upgraded to a new plan or feature, and your credit card is billed without your consent. Account cancellation must also be performed manually from the client-side.

Pricing

Globat has two shared hosting plans available, the smallest of which gives users unlimited space and bandwidth for $4.44/month when paid annually. Globat’s prices are not only reasonable, but downright cheap. It should be noted that that is an introductory price and good only for the first year of service. Account renewal prices are nearly double the introductory rates.

Reliability

My hosting server was 100% reliable over a one year period.

Help & Support

Globat offers 24/7 support by trouble ticket system, live chat and telephone. Tech support is helpful and polite, though service is sometimes slow. During an unexpected period of downtime, it took Globat three days to respond to my trouble ticket. Phone wait times can be long and often clients are directed to submit a trouble ticket for even small issues that could easily be resolved over the phone.

Uptime

My uptime monitor showed that Globat maintained a 99.91% uptime rating over a one year stay.
